Why guinea pigs, you ask? Originally I got them because my landlord doesn’t allow dogs, and I’m allergic to cats. I’ve found that guinea pigs might be my spirit animals though. They make all sorts of cute sounds, sometimes get so excited they popcorn, and can’t stop exploring.

Here’s a cute video of popcorning

(it’s when they jump and wiggle at the same time because they’re so excited they can’t contain themselves)
